[patch 02/20] stop_machine: Provide stop_machine_locked()

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Sat Apr 15 2017 - 13:35:33 EST


From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Some call sites of stop_machine() are within a get_online_cpus() protected
region.

stop_machine() calls get_online_cpus() as well, which is possible in the
current implementation but prevents converting the hotplug locking to a
percpu rwsem.

Provide stop_machine_locked() to avoid nested calls to get_online_cpus().
